I think you're right. I saw it on a Windows machine at the time but it was on other platforms.

I first started playing on a Commodore 64 back in 1987!

There's a Steam version based on, I think, a 2005 release. One of my go-to activities after a rough day. My current game has a Flying Dutchman situation going on where we haven't divided the plunder in probably 20 years. (We can still make port without mutiny or desertion b/c of the gold on hand.)

Because yes, Thanksgiving as a national holiday has to do with the Civil War and not the Puritans or previously proclaimed days of Thanksgiving (of which there were hundreds) - so be sure, as you gather about the table, to give thanks for the victories brought by Union arms at Vicksburg & Gettysburg

I'm sure it doesn't hold up, but as a kid, I couldn't get enough Battle of the Planets (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman).

Many are my names in many countries: Mudrunner I was in my youth on the BBSs that are forgotten.

Wow. Just looked at the box score - they called *50* fouls (30 on us to 20 for them). I didn't see the game, but that seems excessive.

For some reason, our cable box unscrambled HBO (found on channel 8) if I tuned it to channel 9 and then twisted the fine tuning dial back until channel 9 displayed channel 8.

I didn't get to see it in the theaters, so that was the best version of Star Wars.

My rice maker plays a little tune that makes me happy every time. I'd let it vote.

The soccer season started strong, getting us to #1 & then limped along. Missed a last minute penalty kick against Michigan. UCLA came from behind in the final minutes of their final game, taking our place in the Big Ten tournament. St. Louis scored on their one good shot & finished us off.

I saw this post, and it made me think "I, too, want a beer." So now I have a beer. Cheers!
